Could someone please provide me with directions for installing Debian from
a usb stick?

Please reply to my address as I'm not subscribed to the debian-user list.


I am a regular help on the Debian IRC channel, and I can say that I am
not sure unetbootin works for anyone. I have tested once myself, and I
had the same issue has the floods of users on IRC. "failed to find cdrom
devices". For this reason, we push the usb installation method
documented in the install guide.

I replied with a link to the install guide chapter to this thread once
already (this is a dupe).


You need to use the cheat code: 'rootdelay=10' it gives more time to find the file system, I install Debian and all kinds of other Distros, unetbootin works good, you need to use the cheat code.
